Tonight we had a Krav Maga social at The Town Tavern in North Attleboro. We had reserved the small room and had filled it up with so many people from class. It was really nice to see everyone and chat with everyone outside of class. These folks have become people that I enjoy spending a lot of time with. I was seated with a bunch of people that had gone through the same black belt test with me. We ad worked a lot with each other through Boot Camp and more.
A friend took this photo and I borrowed it from her Facebook page because I did not take photos during the event. We had plenty of food and lots of conversation. It got super loud when the room was all filled up and the poor server was taking care of all of us. But we all had a really fun night together.
Buddy week continues at the dojo and today at Krav the adults learned a few techniques for being choked from behind. Sensei did call on me to help demonstrate but saw how sweaty I was and picked someone else. He called on another person and they came up to me asking if they could borrow some sweat. Everyone got a good laugh. I was trying hard to have a very hard workout because I’ll be off for a month and I know I’m going to feel so behind when I return. We did not learn the hip toss in the adult class, which is good because I did not have my regular partner. My partner for this could have thrown me across the room and I would have probably had a spinal injury trying to move him.
For the afternoon class the kids worked on the technique that the adults learned in the morning which ultimately lead to learning how to defend against being choked from behind while seated at a school desk. Andy helped with one part of the demonstration. I’ve warned him that they have to move more and get sweatier so they don’t get called on as a volunteer. Sensei was demonstrating how to break a wrist after getting out from the choke.
